The lights are full of fire, fireworks, and fireworks, and the traffic is busy, and the crowds are crowded, and the laughter is noisy. Next to the bluestone bridge, above the stream, hundreds of lotus water lanterns are shining, and the water is rippling, reflecting the lively and extraordinary scene of the market.

A boy and a girl sit under a linden tree. The breeze is blowing, the green clusters are swaying, and the red scarves are swaying.

The boy was nine years old and was richly dressed, and the girl was fifteen years old and dressed modestly. It seemed that it was a master and a servant, and they put lights on the side of the water, and the light of the fire faintly shone on the young and handsome faces of the two of them.

The little young master held the water lantern in his hand that had not yet been lit, and said thoughtfully: "Ah Miao is in time this year, right?"

Ah Miao said, "What do you say?"

The little young master shook his head and scratched his head, and said, "Does Ah Miao have a sweetheart?"

Ah Miao was asked by this question in a fog. She squeezed out a smile and said, "What nonsense are you talking about again?

The little young master pursed his mouth, looking aggrieved, and the sentence "why" has not yet been finished.

"There's no way I'm going to marry a little ghost who is four years younger than me, and besides, it's not always like to make an oath without thinking, okay?"

Regarding the matter of being called a "little ghost" by the maid, the little young master Lai Yuze also didn't care at all. He has been obedient and sensible since he was a child, and his personality is very tame, and anyone in the house can bully him, but no one can bear it. But if the master finds out, it will be bad, and it will inevitably be punished.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time! I think that in the future, I will protect you!" Speaking of emotion, the small lotus lamp in the little master's hand was crumpled.

At this moment, a blue-white dragon descended from the sky, three feet thick, and did not know how to cultivate, and swam in front of them, separating the two.

The little young master turned pale with fright, and the light fell off. There is still the sentence on his lips: "I will protect you..."

The dragon slammed its head up again and flew into the sky, its torso knocking down more than a hundred houses, and its fur raising thousands of miles of wind and sand. The people screamed again and again, and hid in Tibet.

Seeing the dragon's claws stretching out towards the little young master, Ah Miao didn't have time to think, and a tiger pounced and threw him to the ground. Although his back was scratched with deep scars, he finally saved the life of the little master.

The dragon made waves, and a flute sounded, and the flying creature disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Ah Miao lay on the little master's body, bleeding all over the ground, unconscious. The little young master hugged her back and cried, "Help! Who will save Ah Miao! Come and save people!"

There was silence all around, and after a long time, the little young master's voice was hoarse. An old woman poked her head out of the alley, and then a butcher removed the doors piece by piece, and the windows of the wooden building were opened one by one, and people peeked out to see what was going on outside.

Gradually, there was a cacophony of voices all around, and a group of people rushed forward. The little young master said in a weak voice, "Save her..."

How could there be a dragon haunted by a good person? Didn't he offend the gods, and the gods sent down the gods to release the evil dragons and inflict hardships on the world? The people talked a lot. I don't know where the rumor came from, but it actually said that Ah Miao was a demon girl who had brought disaster to the country, and that she was going to cut off her head and sacrifice to heaven and earth in order to vent her anger! Some philistines gathered to make trouble and demanded that the Lai family hand over Ah Miao.

Fortunately, Master Lai is a sensible person, not encouraged by rumors, and thinking that Ah Miao has a meritorious role in protecting the master, and Master Lai rescued Ah Miao under pressure.

There were three scratches on Ah Miao's back, each one an inch long, revealing white bones, which was shocking. When Master Lai opened the gauze, there was already some newly grown flesh, but the jet-black dragon poison could not dissipate.

The Lai family is a giant in the medicine store, and the heir of the Lai family is a famous doctor for generations, if the Lai family can't heal anyone well, then even Hua Tuo will not be able to return to heaven if he is reincarnated.

Master Lai closed his eyes and sighed, although he said to the little young master, his eyes never left this poor girl. He said: "Ze'er, it's not that I don't save her, I really can't do anything for my father!"

The little young master was a little flustered, and said, "How is it possible? Isn't my father a miracle doctor? There is no disease in this world that my father can't cure!"

Master Lai shook his head and said, "If Ah Miao still has any wishes, Dad will do what he can." ”

With that, he got up and left.

The little young master was anxious, and knelt down directly in front of Master Lai, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Dad listened to the words of the villagers, and thought that Ah Miao was a demon girl, and deliberately didn't save her, right? Ah Miao is also like this to save me, if she is a demon girl, I am also a demon! Otherwise, I will sacrifice me to heaven and earth!"

Master Lai was so sad to see the little young master, but he still decided to tell him the truth. He said: "Ah Miao is poisoned. In my 40 years of medical practice, I have never seen this kind of poison, and I have never seen a similar poison. This is probably the dragon's body poison. Every living thing in the world, every grass and tree is poisonous, and so are human beings, but the toxicity is different. The dragon is an ancient mythical beast that manifested in the human world for the first time in thousands of years. There is no cure for dragon poison. ”

"No one can solve it, can't even my father save Ah Miao?" The little young master looked back at Ah Miao.

"Don't tell anyone about dragon poison. If someone makes a big fuss about this, saying that the dragon has brought a plague, the consequences will be unimaginable. The hundreds of members of the Lai family may also suffer because of this. ”

Ah Miao stared at the ceiling blankly, she had been awake for a while, and Master Lai's words had been heard.

Seeing that Ah Miao had woken up, the little young master obediently squatted in front of the bed with a sad face. Master Lai also left on his own and let them catch up.

Ah Miao always gave him a big smile when he saw the little master, and this time it was the same. Although her face was pale and there was no trace of blood on her lips, her smile was as warm as ever.

"Why did you make a bitter gourd look, I thought I would never get better!" said Miao in a deliberately playful tone.

"No, Ah Miao won't die!"

“......”

The little young master realized that he had leaked his mouth, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

"It's okay, I know it all. Although I was a little surprised to hear that I was dying, my heart was unusually calm. It's like a dream, whether it was yesterday or seven years ago......"

Miao's background is not glorious. She was the child of a girl in a green house, and she didn't even know who her father was until she was eight years old. My mother is old and decrepit, so she can only do some logistics chores in the green building. When she was young, she suffered a lot of bullying and grievances.

Later, there were some opportunities that allowed her to escape from the Qinglou. After that, she worked as a beggar and went into a den of thieves, and the only thing that supported her was to live.

After several tosses, she was rescued by the Lai family. Unfortunately, Mrs. Lai died of a serious illness, so she became the personal maid of the little young master and has always taken good care of the little young master. For the little master, Ah Miao is not only his childhood playmate, but also his dependence.

"I don't want Ah Miao to die, it's all my fault!" the little young master clenched his hands and held back his tears.

"It's okay, I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings I have cultivated to be a maid of the Lai family?" I am already very satisfied......" Although Ah Miao said this, her tears could not stop flowing out, as if her body knew the sorrow of death before her.

"I won't let you die!"

The little master wiped his tears and hurriedly ran out.

He must find the antidote to dragon poison!

Lai Yuze is known to the world as a genius in the medical field, and he has revised the pharmacopoeia and improved the prescriptions of his predecessors.

For a few days, the little young master did not go home all day, buried himself in the pharmacy library, and decided to find a prescription for curing dragon poison by himself. He searched through all the medical books and pharmacopoeias he usually read, but he did not find the slightest record of the antidote to dragon poison.

He walked out of the pharmacy listlessly, and a beggar came forward to beg for food, the little master has always been kind, and this time he also rewarded the beggar with enough money for food. The old man who took the copper coin not only did not leave, but also squinted his eyes and looked the little young master up and down.

"Is there anything else you need?" said the young master, but he still couldn't get up.

"This noble man is troubled by dragon poison?"

"Dragon venom, how do you know that?"

The beggar squinted and smiled, his gray skin squeezing out a few deep folds.

He said: "It is rare for a true dragon to come down to earth for thousands of years, but the description of the dragon by the ancestors is very detailed, which shows that the dragon and man lived together in the world thousands of years ago. ”

The little young master suddenly realized, and he said to himself: "Thousands of years ago, dragons and humans lived together, and it was inevitable that they would be scratched and poisoned by dragons, so there must be a record of dragon poison." But what kind of book will it be written in? There should be some clues in ancient books like the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", right?"

The young master turned around and found that the beggar had disappeared. He shouted, but suddenly woke up from the bookcase, it turned out to be a dream! But the dream was too realistic! Could it be that he had met the guidance of a god?

The little young master suddenly remembered something, dug out all the mythological ancient books about dragons, and read them greedily.

The hard work paid off, and he finally turned to the record of dragon poison.

The first few medicinal materials are common, and they can even be said to be ordinary, so ordinary that people are suspicious. But the last taste of medicinal herbs has never been seen or heard of by the young master. He stroked the white drawing on the left side of the ancient book with his hand, his body was slender, two pairs of club-like tentacles, and his wings were folded on his back.

"What is this? Moth?"

The young master slowly moved his hand down to the lower left corner of the picture, which read: Butterfly.

"What is a butterfly? What does a moth mean? It's similar, but it's still a little different. Maybe it's the ancestor of the moth, and it's now extinct," the little young master closed the book, and countless questions flashed through his heart, "But it's too strange to use butterfly wings as medicine, isn't it?

The little young master told Ah Miao about the dragon poison antidote, but Ah Miao said something unexpected.

She said, "I want to try this medicine." ”

"But... I'm not sure about the drug introduction..."

"If it's poison, it doesn't make a difference to me whether I eat it or not. ”

A few days later, the poisonous spots on Ah Miao's body miraculously disappeared, and his body gradually improved, except for three shocking scars on his back.

No one mentioned the prescription, and Master Lai also thought that the dragon poison dissipated naturally.
